The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1887-07-09

LUDLOW street jail, he rode to and from the
court in his own private carriage instead
Of being sent in the Black Maria" In
Ludlow street jail he had the most elegant
apartment IA the. prison, the same occu-
pied by Tweed and Ferdinand Ward. This
brings the sheriff's deputy fifty dollars a
week, to which are attached little perquisi-
ties, which win raise it TO a hundred, mot
a bad thing for the depaty. The District
Attorney says that he has information Of a
plot for Shsrp's escape at any rate, he
rides no more in his own carriage, and his
family are not allowed to remain with him
in prison so that his punishment has act
ually commenced. He has lost his own
time" What are you going to do about
it ?"--defiant air and he looks like man
thoroughly broken down and heartsick. II
he had eyer dreamed of his present pitable
plight, he would have put the Canadian
boundary between himself and bis pursuers; (;
but his faith in the evil power Of money
misled him. He had found it all potent,
up to a certain point he had bought
judges and jurors, legislatures and boards
of aldermen, and why could be not buy his
way out now The end is not yet but the
signs are full Of evil for him. Inside the
walls of Sing Sing would be a sad ending 10
the life for Jacob Sharp. But il his evil
example of corruption and success ending
in misery, failure and disgrace, shall arrest
one young man who has chosen the wrong
road, and who thinks that the accumula-
tion of wealth is the only end Of man, Mr..
Sharp will not have suffered in vain.
This week has had its lesson as well as
the last. No blacker Friday has been seen
for ten years. Manhattan off thirty points,
and lots of other stocks in sympathy. AS a
rule margins are only ten per cent. How
many of these were swept away on Friday.
Hundreds rushed IN to bolster up the mark
ct, and put up another ten per cent; that
went and up went another, and when that
was exhausted they felt sick and gave up.
The outsiders sold and the insiders Jay
Gould, Russell Sage, Cyrus Field and their
crowd bought, and in little time Mauhat-
tan and all the rest of the stocks will be
back at the old figure.
Sunday was field day among the Knight
of LaJer and the Home Club. One Of the
most respectable and conciliatery of the
Knights of Labor in New York was George
w. Dunno, the Chairman of the Committee
of Arbitration and Strikes. If an employer
had anything to say, Mr.. Dunno listened to
him like gentleman, and gave him fair
hearing. He was the most successful arbi-
traitor in the order, and generally respected
by employer and men. Master Workman
James G. Quinn was a bulldozer, who
seemed to think that every employer ought
to be knocked in the head, and he sought
to ride rough shod over every one under
him. At last conspiracy was formed to
seize the cer tral power of the Knights of
Labor, which Mr. Dunno exposed last Sun
day. Quinn deposed Dunno from his
Craftsmanship of the Committee Of Arbitra-
ton and Strikes on Thursday, but on Sun
Cay Dunno knocked Quinn so high it is
doubtful If he ever comes down. The row
has caused tremendous excitement in labor
circles and as l prophesed a couple CT
weeks ago-a serious split is at hand which
promises to divide the order.
Truly yours,
BRoADBRIM.
